Since this project focuses on critical thinking in engineering andtechnology, solving open ended problems is a natural fit: problem solving is an objectiveof all accredited engineering and technology programs6,7.

A “KEEN” team project was given to the students in which they were asked to pretend that they were members of a startup company that would design, build, test, market, and sell a product with some dynamics content to it. As part of the exercise, the 20 teams worked on idea generation, concept development and identification of required activities, in addition to writing a draft Business Plan. Product ideas varied across different economic sectors including power generation, sports technology, transportation, food and beverage technology, and health care.

definition of problem solving: “… the ability to identify anddefine a problem, develop and evaluate alternative solutions, and effect one or more designs tosolve the problem.” While development of effective problem-solving skills is a primary goal ofengineering education, reaching this goal is very challenging. Most engineering science classesrequire substantial coverage of content, leaving little time for teaching problem solving skills.Moreover, problem solving involves high-level skills, and most students cannot learn these skillsin a short time. Another issue is that many students have learned “dead-end” problem solvingtechniques. That is, they use techniques that are effective for textbook problems, but ineffectivefor practical problems
